@TomTailorSawyer @KevoCavo59 Her legs are paralyzed and atrophied from childhood polio and she uses a wheelchair. It would be weirder to not give her assistance down

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@funplings This is like saying women are more sexist than men because they see some truth in stereotypes. Like yeah, they do, but that's just being normal. It would only be sexist if they prejudged and held all women to those stereotypes

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@HedgeDirty @SaltyPlato Yeah, that's what's missing though. The man should emerge from the closet and say he got a promotion. The weird part of the story is specifically that the only stated accomplishment was a leaderboard

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@SaltyPlato @HedgeDirty Using the most tokens doesn't demonstrate proficiency. There are people who say "good morning" to Opus to burn tokens. If the story ended with a promotion, new job, or at least a raise or something then I wouldn't think it was silly

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@SaltyPlato @HedgeDirty They wouldn't, but that's because that guy would have become a nuerosurgeon at the end. This hypothetical person already has a job and didn't do anything but top a Goodhart's Law leaderboard

@highslip I understand people who go for the IMAX non-70mm, but personally, I can get really good digital image quality at home any time. I can't run 1 or 2 50 year old 70mm film projectors at home, so 70mm is what I'd go to every time for anything originally shot-on-film

@WersleyRitton @ChaseMit Sometimes, sure, but The Odyssey is huge compared to the discourse. I'm reminded of 2014 gamergate where people were outaged online a lot, but it barely affected the sales of anything. Or the Hogwarts Legacy reaction, which was similarly online-only from the other side

@NorthxNorthw @DanFriedman81 Except he didn't develop any skills nor accomplish anything at his job. He's just at the top of a token leaderboard

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss I rest my case

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss Give a specific example of the courtesy and boundary issues

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss Give a specific example of the courtesy and boundary issues. I'm struggling to imagine what discourtesy I'm suffering when there are kids in front of my yard

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss 1. You're describing a kid spending a little time drawing with sidewalk chalk as "camping out"

2. "people around who like to get in your spacing [sic]": we already established it's not your space. We're not talking about someone drawing on your house or in your yard

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss If you don't know your direct neighbors *at all* then that's more of a you problem. But even putting that aside, public property definitionally isn't part of your personal private space. And even *that* aside, there are no negative consequences for you

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@MbRich20 @hawks2013SB @thugwontmiss If a kid was playing at my driveway entrance, the worst thing that can possibly happen is I have to go to the store and spend 10 seconds telling them to watch out when I back out to keep them safe. Who cares?

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@KaleTrento11961 @JillFilipovic Of course those were crimes, but they weren't legally classified as rape yet

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@planefag @haylen630 My power bill doubled in a red state. And you still haven't addressed that data centers provide virtually zero employment opportunities

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@bpodgursky @Noahpinion Locals oppose building anything. Data center opposition is notable because it's gone national and bipartisan. If many fewer people thought data centers weren't going to drive poverty, then yeah, I think barriers would have continued to be local NIMBYs more than state/federal

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@zzenrocker @ValueStockGeek Even if you like your job, you could be fired or laid off in a down market. Your existence and ability to do the job you like is entirely dependent on your boss and broader market demands that are outside your control. It's not fun when a single layoff could drive you to poverty

[TurnedToast @TurnedToast]

@RainingSchultz I completely support nuclear power anyway, but [turbine blades end up in landfills] doesn't tell me anything. What's the bet environmental impact of turbine blade production/disposal vs fossil fuels?
